Smart Attendance Tracking Makes Classroom Rewards Effortless
Classroom Hero is committed to reducing absenteeism and making classroom management effortless for teachers. Our Smart Attendance System integrates directly with the Classroom Hero reward platform—so when you click Award All, only present students receive points.
This creates natural consequences for attendance while making your reward system run smoother than ever.
The Challenge: Attendance and Rewards Don’t Mix
Teachers face a daily dilemma: how do you reward participation when some students aren’t there?
Traditional systems force teachers to either:
Manually exclude absentees (time-consuming, error-prone)
Reward everyone equally (undermining attendance value)
Skip group rewards entirely (losing motivational opportunities)
Meanwhile, students missing just 2 days per month lose over 20 days of instruction each year.
Our Solution: Attendance-Aware Rewards
